#Research #participation opportunity:

Finally, we are partnering with a student #researcher from the Department of #Sociology at the University of Victoria who is conducting a #study on deep engagement within #SeedLibraries. They are seeking participants for approximately one-hour interviews (in person or online — to be conducted in the next couple weeks) who have interacted with the previous iteration of the #VictoriaSeedLibrary. If you’re interested in learning more or participating, please contact Hannah Lister at [email protected]

#BucksportME! "The #Bucksprouts #SeedLibrary is now open! Community members can come take seeds to plant and grow their own flowers and vegetables. Our initial seed donation was through the generosity of #HighMowingSeeds with additional seeds donated by #Mainescape and other patrons. Our intent is for gardeners to learn how to #SaveSeeds so that we can provide this resource for years to come. Many thanks to all of our dedicated volunteers who made this possible. Come take some seeds, learn gardening tips, and network with others who garden too."

#OldTownME #PublicLibrary - What is a #SeedLibrary?

"A Seed Library is a community-driven resource where people can borrow seeds, grow them, and then return some of the harvest’s seeds to share with others. It's a fantastic way to promote biodiversity, sustainability, and self-sufficiency within our community. By participating, you contribute to the preservation of unique, locally-adapted plant varieties while helping others grow their own food.

How It Works
- Borrow Seeds: Visit our Seed Library and browse through the available varieties. Choose the seeds that fit your gardening space and needs.
- Plant and Grow: Take the seeds home and plant them! We provide helpful gardening tips and instructions to help you grow your plants successfully.
- Save and Return Seeds: At the end of the growing season, save seeds from your healthiest, most productive plants. Then, return these seeds to the library for others to borrow.

Why Participate in Our Seed Library?
- Promote #Biodiversity: Help preserve and propagate locally-adapted plants.
- Access to Free Seeds: #Gardening should be accessible to everyone, and we believe in removing barriers like seed cost.
- #Sustainable Gardening: By saving and sharing seeds, we create a cycle of sustainability that benefits the environment and community.
- Build #Community: Our Seed Library fosters collaboration, education, and a deeper connection with nature and neighbors.

What Seeds Do We Offer?

We offer a wide variety of seeds that are well-suited to our local climate and conditions. Some of the seed varieties we offer include:
- Vegetables: Tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, peas, carrots, and more!
- Herbs: Basil, oregano, thyme, mint, and rosemary.
- Flowers: Sunflowers, zinnias, marigolds, and other #PollinatorFriendly flowers.
- #NativePlants: Local species that support #pollinators and other #wildlife."
